Larry Walker Room in Dean Rusk Hall-255 Herty DR

The Criminal Justice Program will be hosting an Alumni Networking Event on Friday, October 14th at 3:00. It will be held in the Larry Walker Room on the 4th floor of Dean Rusk Hall (225 Herty Drive). We envision the event to be a chance for students to learn more about our alumni and their work in an informal way, and we hope it to be a conversational, engaging event for everyone. This will be a great opportunity to build new connections and is open to all students interested in the different fields of Criminal Justice.

2019 Annual Alumni Panel

Only one of this year's alumni panelists does not remember an alumni panel when they were a student. The earliest memory of an alumni panel was from a student here in 1993 ... so let's say we've had a quarter century of grads returning to share and interact with current majors. Thank you!

This year's panel was held Friday October 18th ... Homecoming, of course ... in the Pinnacle Room of the new Baldwin Hall annex.
